Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsando tellus
(Orazio)
O amato fanciullo, prendi le grandi tazze variopinte,
perché il figlio di Zeus e di Sèmele diede agli
uomini il vino per dimenticare i dolori..
(Alceo)
Set in a context of rare beauty and historical importance the Winecellar represents another jewel in the crown of the Maffei Restaurant.
There are over 600 labels and a total of 7000 bottles managed and cared for by qualified and highly competent staff, able to lead our clients through a journey of discovery that springs from our origins as a people known for producing and consuming excellent wines.
The connection between the history of wine and the history of man is readily seen by our guests who visit the excavations of the Capitol underneath the winecellar, which date back to the time of the Roman Empire.
Such archaelogical treasures, under the care of the Supervision of Archaelogical
Assets, can be admired in all their splendour from the winecellar or by taking
a guided walk 9 metres below street level.
